Be Sure You’re Really Pregnant

Before getting any type of abortion, you will need to know for sure that you’re actually pregnant. Even if you have pregnancy symptoms or have taken a home-test, you may want to confirm your pregnancy. Carolina Pregnancy Center offers free on-site pregnancy tests that may be more accurate than the home-test you’ve already taken.

Surgical Abortion

If you’re considering surgical abortion the most common types of surgical abortion performed are: vacuum aspiration, dilation and curettage (D&C), dilation and evacuation (D&E).
